Product Description

The Tonka Classics Trencher is specially designed for digging and dumping fun! Use the backhoe to dig trenches, then scoop and dump the load with the working bucket. There's no job too big for this hardworking vehicle. With Tonka tough styling, this vehicle is built to last and guaranteed for life!

Did you know that "Tonka" means "great" in Sioux? It's no surprise considering just how long this great, reliable brand of toy trucks has been around! In 1947, the first Tonka brand toy trucks were actually designed and manufactured by the Mound Metalcraft Company, a small garden toll manufacturer operating from a small schoolhouse basement in Minnesota. In their first year of operation, a staff of only a half dozen people produced a total of 37,000 metal trucks with two designs. This inventory sold out in just a few months as many post-World War II families quickly accepted this new toy. As a result, in 1949, the first Tonka dump truck was introduced launching the first generation of the Tonka brand's family tree. Today, the Tonka brand upholds the same premise it was found on: a toy should be durable and provide the child with as much play value possible. Find Tonka products right here at Toys R Us!

We purchased this for our son for Christmas. He received the Tonka Dump Truck and Bulldozer as well. He loves all 3 but this one frustrates him when he tries to operate the backhoe and the bucket. The backhoe has a lever to scoop the dirt and it is difficult to slide even for me. I'm hoping it will loosen up over time. The scoop requires two actions to operate it, one to lower and the other to scoop . . . again frustrating for our son who is almost 3. I'm hoping he will grow into them!

This Tonka product was purchased for my grandsons third birthdate and it was a fantastic hit. I was especially thrilled that the quality of Tonka products hasn't changed in the 25 years since I was purchasing them for my son. We are looking forward to continually adding all the steel Tonka trucks to his toy box.

My son loves trucks/cars and this toy is a favorite. The scoops are easy to maneuver and it seems very sturdy. There's some limitation to the scoop range and flexibility, but for my 3 year old it works perfectly.

My 3 yr old son loves to play with this item in his sandbox. Well built and very life like. When we drive down the road and he see's a real life size one he gets so exited and says "truck truck". So cute. Even my husband loves to teach him how it works. It reminds him of his childhood when he had Tonka toys.

We debated between this digger and other electronic/battery toys. Really glad we bought this one. it took about 30 minutes and our 2 year old had learned the manipulations. He doesn't always use the levers, but just likes holding the bucket and shovel. It's a toy he can grow into. I also appreciate that it is partially steel

The yellow body is steel, but the arms and scoops are plastic. I was hoping for something all steel, but my 3 year old son likes it of course. It just won't last as long. They shouldn't call it "Steel" when it isn't.
